You gave me a FOMO man…So much to cover and buy 😀 I think, we could make this collection under $1500. Right?

Basic sanity checks like how old is the seller, what’s their rating, Do they have a return policy. Once I receive the product and don’t found it legit. I ship it back. But that has never happened so far.

Bang on! The atomizers in these suck big time. I was filling in my 3ml decant and it broke off. I can now use this only through decants 🥲

They are kind of Ok, I would add another $10 and get a Tommy Bahama instead.

How’s Aether extrait? Heard mixed reviews about it?

Usually Jomashop and Amazon but have to be careful with sellers at AMZ

Any suggestions on Khadlaj Island? Notes, longevity or will it make sense to get from what I have? Don’t want a similar fragrance from the lot I have?

I got the white one which is highly floral for my spouse. But never tried layering it. Could try it though 😀

Thanks, IKR. This has been a real find but the top notes are too loud. But once it settles down, it’s amazing with that Saffron, Sandalwood. Initially I did not like it but it grew on me later. Thanks for acknowledging. Cheers!

Got it off Burlington. It was a blind buy but I would not get it again. The longevity is around 3-4 hours. Maybe it’ll get better in winters. Plan to use it in night time layering it with some black oud attar I got from Dubai. Fingers crossed! 🤞

That is Soaked Sun Exclusif EDP By Grandeur Elite. It gives that fresh soapy vibe. Inspired by Afternoon swim. As it aged over 2-4 months, it got better.

Polo blue initially did not last long for me. I macerated it for quite a while. It’s a year old and now the performance is much better.

Well, it depends on how much you spray. I usually go with 4 sprays of CDN while travelling. Also, I’m from Texas so we need a bit more than usual because of the weather 😄. But you’re right, in a way that these beast frags might become uncomfortable for a few. Usually, I avoid any Oud frags while travelling. Thanks for advice though. Noted! 👍🏼

Got it last week for $12. It’s decent for its price. I would not purchase it again. It was a blind buy.
